Foodborne

Illness caused
by Bacteria
Let me present it to you!
What is Foodborne Illness?
Foodborne illness is caused by consuming
contaminated foods or beverages. Many
different disease-causing microbes or
pathogens can contaminate foods, so there
are many different types of foodborne
illnesses.
Most foodborne diseases are infections
caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, and
parasites. Other diseases are poisonings
caused by harmful toxins or chemicals that
have contaminated food.
Campylobacteriosis is an infection caused
by bacteria you can get from contaminated
food and water. It causes diarrhea.
Campylobacter can enter your body
through contaminated water,
unpasteurized milk or cheese, and raw or
undercooked poultry (and sometimes
other kinds of meats and seafood).

Escherichia coli is a major
bacteria species and can live in
human intestines. Some E. coli
species do not cause disease.
But, there are other types of E.
coli that can cause severe
illness. E. coli can enter your
body through contaminated
food or water, and is often
involved in major foodborne
outbreaks around the world.

A staph infection is caused by a
Staphylococcus (or "staph") bacteria.
These staph infections range from a
simple boil to antibiotic-resistant
infections to flesh-eating infections.
Staph infections are caused by
staphylococcus bacteria, types of germs
commonly found on the skin or in the
nose of even healthy individuals. But
staph infections can turn deadly if the
bacteria invade deeper into your body,
entering your bloodstream, joints,
bones, lungs or heart.
